慢性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变的多模式影像研究进展

Research progress of multimodal imaging in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy

:261-271
 
慢性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变(cCSC)以广泛的脉络膜视网膜异常为特征,包括脉络膜血管扩张及其引发的弥漫性视网膜色素上皮病变和浆液性视网膜脱离,常累及黄斑区,引起视功能损害。传统观点认为其可能由急性CSC演变而来,但近期研究显示两者在临床上存在明显差异。其病情反复、迁延,预后较差。随着光学相干断层扫描血管造影(OCTA)、超广角成像和en face重建成像等新多模式影像(MMI)技术的出现和人工智能及机器学习的发展,更多有意义的cCSC影像学特征不断出现。文章详细介绍了cCSC在眼底成像、眼底自发荧光(FAF)、光学相干断层扫描(OCT)、眼底荧光素血管造影(FFA)、吲哚菁绿血管造影和OCTA等影像技术中的表现,并探讨了人工智能在识别CSC分类及其OCT 生物标志物等方面的应用。不同影像技术在cCSC的诊断和研究中各有优势,如FAF可能是评估疾病进展及变化的有效手段,OCT可更直观地观察视网膜结构的改变,FFA是识别渗漏点的重要检查手段,而OCTA可能是评估脉络膜微循环的的最佳手段等。这些MMI研究进展为深入了解cCSC的病理生理机制及临床特征提供了重要线索,有助于提高诊断的准确性和效率,改善患者的预后和生活质量。
Chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) is characterized by extensive retinochoroidal abnormalities. This includes difuse retinal pigment epitheliopathy and serous retinal detachment associated with choroidal vasodilatation, ofen involving the macula and cause visual impairment. It was originally considered that it might evolve from acute CSC, but recent studies have shown significant clinical differences between the two. It tends to recur, be prolonged, and have an unfavorable prognosis. With the advent of new multimodal imaging (MMI) techniques such as optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), ultra-wide-feld imaging, and en face reconstruction imaging, along with the advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning, more significant cCSC imaging characteristics have been constantly emerging. Tis article provides a comprehensive overview of cCSC’s imaging features across various modalities, including fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), fuorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green angiography, and OCTA. It also explores the application of artifcial intelligence in identifying CSC classifications and OCT biomarkers. Different imaging techniques have their own advantages in the diagnosis and study of cCSC, such as FAF being an efective means to assess disease progression and changes, OCT providing a more intuitive observation of retinal structural changes, FFA being an important tool for identifying leakage points, and OCTA possibly being the best means to assess choroidal microcirculation. Tese MMI research advancements ofer crucial insights for clinicians, aiding in more accurate diagnosis and efective treatment, thereby potentially improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

眼底老化相关沉积物的病理、多模态影像及临床意义

Pathology, multimodal imaging and clinical significance of age-related fundus deposits

:155-170
 
眼底老化是年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration, AMD)发生和进展的关键因素及病理基础,在组织病理学上主要表现为脉络膜毛细血管萎缩、布鲁赫膜(Bruch's membrane, BrM)增厚以及视网膜色素上皮(retinal pigment epithelium, RPE)异常。BrM增厚可由多种眼底老化沉积物聚集引起,在AMD的病理机制中具有重要作用。其中,基底薄层沉积物(basal laminar deposit, BLamD)代表了RPE基底膜的弥漫性增厚,通常作为一种正常眼底老化改变。而以酯化和未酯化胆固醇等中性脂质为主的RPE基底膜下沉积物,即基底线性沉积物(basal linear deposits, BLinD)和软性玻璃膜疣,均可参与破坏脉络膜与外层视网膜间物质交换稳态,造成外层视网膜缺血、缺氧及氧化应激,是AMD早期重要病理改变。硬性玻璃膜疣主要分布于周边视网膜,多见于正常老化眼底;表皮玻璃膜疣是RPE基底膜局灶性结节状增厚的结果,眼底表现与硬性玻璃膜疣相似,但其主要分布于后极部,数量更多且密度更高。近年来逐渐加深了对视网膜下玻璃膜疣样沉积物(subretinal drusenoid deposit, SDD)的认识和研究,其是位于RPE上方的沉积物,在AMD发病机制中亦具有深刻意义。文章就几种眼底老化相关沉积物(包括硬性玻璃膜及表皮玻璃膜疣)的病理特征和多模态影像学表现进行综述,旨在帮助认识和理解这些沉积物的眼底表现、病理特征和形成机制,以及在AMD发生及进展中的临床意义。
Fundus aging is a key factor and pathological basis for the development and progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is histopathologically characterized by choroidal capillary atrophy, Bruch’s membrane (BrM) thickening, and abnormalities of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). BrM thickening can be induced by the aggregation of age-related fundus deposits and plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of AMD. Basal laminar deposits (BLamD) represent diffuse thickening of the basement membrane of RPE, usually considered to be a normal fundus aging. Basal linear deposits (BLinD) and soft drusen, mainly composed of neutral lipids such as esterified and unesterified cholesterol, can disrupt the homeostasis of material exchange between the choroid and the outer retina, resulting in ischemia, hypoxia, and oxidative stress in the outer retina, which are important pathological changes in the early AMD. Hard drusen is mainly distributed in the peripheral retina and is very common in aging fundus; Cuticular drusen are resulted from focal nodular thickening of the basement membrane of RPE, with similar appearance as hard drusen, but mainly distributed in the posterior pole and more numerous and denser. Recently, our understanding of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), deposits above the RPE, has been gradually deepened and it also has profound significance in the pathogenesis of AMD. In this review, we presented the pathologic features and multimodal imaging of age-related fundus deposits (including hard drusen and cuticular drusen), aiming to help recognize and understand the manifestations, pathologic features, and formation mechanisms of these deposits, as well as their clinical significance in the development and progression of AMD.
